You might be thinking to yourself, “Christian Kane…name sounds familiar.” Think back to a music video that surged onto the music scene and basically took over your TV. Carrie Underwood’s “So Small” not only earned her a 2008 CMT Music Awards nomination, but Kane, who acted in the video, was also nominated for a Supporting Character of the Year award.

“I just remember being on the open road when she’s singing and the lights are coming down and how beautiful Roman White made everything look,” said Kane, who also appeared in the film, Friday Night Lights. “He really honestly used the background as another character and I really think that he connected with the viewers, which is why it’s been nominated for Female Video of the Year.”

When he’s not acting, Kane is pursuing his other career — singing. He grew up listening to country music and always wanted to make an album. After a long haul, he’s finally getting his chance. “More Than I Deserve,” his first single, will be officially released in the fall.

“I’ve been doing music for over eight years and finally I’ve got something I’m ready to give to the entire world instead of just my fans,” he says. “This album touches on pretty much every emotion that you can have. I think that whatever emotion that you feel there’s a song on there for you.”

With an album in the works and a television series in the near future, Kane remains busy and wouldn’t want things any other way.

“There’s an old saying that says be careful what you wish for. Well, I asked for this, so I’m never going to look at it as a problem,” Kane says.
